A Facile Approach to the Synthesis of 3-(6-Chloro-thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)-2,6-difluoro-benzamide (PC190723)

Abstract

Practical synthesis of PC 190723, a bacterial cell division protein Ftsz inhibitor, has been achieved in a high overall yield of 45% in six steps from commercially available starting materials.

Key words

antibacterial agents - cell division inhibitors - thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine - FtsZ
